They're definitely launching the 200/220 CDI from what Hormazd tweeted a few days ago. The only petrol option is the 250 ~If they offer the 4Matic option for the 220 & 250 like they do in the other markets then *THAT* is the model to get.
Doubtful about them launching the 45AMG though~ Could that undercut the CLA45 as the cheapest AMG?

Overdrive have gone on the record with the engine options. Looks like we're getting the 250 Petrol engine & the 220 CDI but no 4Matic options for either. Not clear if either will be getting the 7G-DCT gearbox

The GLA will come with two engine choices. One is a 1.6-litre turbopetrol which makes 155PS and 250Nm of torque. The second, a diesel is the four cylinder 2.2l motor which produces 135PS and 300Nm. Both the engines come mated to a 7-speed automatic. Mercedes will be bringing in the GLA to India via the CBU route.

I have been invited by Joshi Autozone, Chandigarh for an "exclusive preview" of the GLA on the 20th of this month.

MB is doing this all across the country apparently.

By the photos posted above the GLA looks puny! My B looks have to more ground clearance than this!! Anyways I will keep the forum updated after attending the preview event. Hopefully they will have an A inside the showroom too, to get a better sense of size and dimensions.
